Actually gasoline was seriously underpriced back in the 40's 50's 60's
Why it went so high after 2000 I could only guess. Probably China had something to do with it..

I just did the same thing today. $2.49/g was paying up into the $3.60's it's so nice to see the price so far down.

Price wise it hasn't gone up too bad. However, if you look at how much you're getting for the price and compare it to the previous price you're getting ripped off hard.

Price for beef jerky for example. It was $5.50 for a 4.25(or 4.50 can't remember) ounce bag. Last time I went to go get some it was ~$6.50 for a 3.25 ounce bag.

I remember gas wars and buying gasoline where the gas was 11 cents a gallon. (the usual price was around 17 to 21 cents a gallon..)This had to be back in the mid to late 1960's.
Back then no one cared if your car got 8 miles to the gallon.. usual was 10 to 12 miles per gallon. Really good was 14 miles to the gallon.
